Attitudes towards death are shaped by our social worlds. This book explores how beliefs, practices and representations of dying and death continue to evolve and adapt in response to changing global societies. Introducing students to debates around grief, religion and life expectancy, this is a clear guide to a complex field for all sociologists.
RUTH MCMANUS is Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. She teaches on the sociology of death, dying and bereavement and is widely published in the field.
